I cannot tell you anything about my sister that you probably do not know already: She was so generous in so many ways to my children and me, and my mum. She was wise and would always try to help with suggestions or thoughts to help to clarify situations. She was funny – I can never look at a meerkat without thinking of Tink, especially when Tink, Giles & I went to the Isle of Wight and she spent ages watching the meerkats there – she was so fascinated by them and mimicked them so brilliantly – it was uncanny! She must have been one in a former life! She helped me to try new things: Spag Bog when I was 16 – the midlands had never heard of it!, driving on the right in France – she drove with me the first time I did it; she encouraged me in my degree, she welcomed my children with open arms into her home, our discussions about gardens, plants as well as a host of things I cannot even begin to mention here.. I remember so many times when she looked after me as a child, she was always there for us all, through thick and thin. I cannot even begin to think how I will cope without her but Tink I love you so much and I am so proud of you for so many things. Take care and always know you are here in our hearts.
